This Day in History

12 September 2011

Home is where...

you make it?

So I'm hunting for an apartment/place to live. I want to be in the boundaries of a new ward I want to attend.

Not having to worry about BYU approved housing (HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I'm hunting in a specific area of Orem. And let me tell you...there are some interesting listings! With today's economy, young married couples (or in some cases not so young) are renting rooms out in their own homes. Rooms. Like...where the nursery/kid's room is supposed to be. In a house with a married couple. Multiple roommates.

SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!?


I understand that times are tough...and a changin...but...come the hell ON people. It's freaking Orem. I feel like I'm answering an ad for swingers wanting...something other than just a roommate. Seriously. But they will word their ads ever so carefully so as not to immediately creep you out. Nope, that comes when you call them to clarify just what exactly "Must love our dog" means...creepy. and kinky...and...well, other not so appropriate things.

luckily, I have my eye set on a specific condo place. Or i just an ad for a basement apartment actually ON the golf course in west Orem that includes...wait for it...ALL utilities, including cable and internet. REALLY hoping I can run over there tomorrow and snag the place practically sight unseen, fur reals!

Anyway...I'm oddly excited to move and have my own place. I know I tried it several years ago and I wasn't ready to live by myself just yet. If it weren't for Craig and Will and my cat I don't think i would have escaped unmedicated...that was probably the closest I've EVER been to depressed in my life. BUT...that being said, I'm in a much MUCH better place now. And I'm excited for this ward so hopefully it will work out. Otherwise, I'm perfectly content to live in these condos. The guy I'm talking with won't be back in town til wed so that is the earliest I could sign anything with him. I'll pester this other chick tomorrow. =) Hopefully, I'll have something signed by friday and I'll have a whole 2 weeks to pack and move crap over. And I'll probably do a HUGE purge of clothing and crap this time around so I'll be making a few DI runs as well.
